"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit
dries up the bones" (Proverbs 22:17, NIV).

"Laughter may not be the best medicine, but it is
surprisingly effective. While the idea has been around for
a while, more studies are confirming the anecdotal
evidence. In a study published in Diabetes Care,
researchers reported that people with type II diabetes had
a smaller rise in blood glucose when they watched a comedy
program versus a boring lecture on television. A team at
the University of Maryland found that people who laughed
often and were able to see the humor in situations were
less likely to develop heart disease.

"Researchers say people who laugh tend to be healthier
people. In study after study, hostility and anger are
associated with disease, and humor with health. This is
especially true when you're laughing it up with friends.
Research on support groups has shown that the effects of
laughter are magnified when it takes place in a social
setting."1

Amazing isn't it? It's taken modern science to discover, or
at least, to confirm, what God's Word taught 3,000 years
ago—that laughter/cheerfulness is a good medicine.

Interesting, too, until the time of Christopher Columbus
almost everyone believed the world was flat, and yet
Isaiah, one of the Old Testament prophets wrote over 2,000
years ago: "He [God] sits enthroned above the circle of the
earth..." (Isaiah 40:22, NIV).

And over 3,000 years ago God gave the ancient Israelites
strict laws by which to live, many of which had to do with
good health and hygiene. God promised that if they obeyed
these laws, they would be protected from diseases that
afflicted the Egyptians. (See Exodus 15:26.)
